Urb plays a wide range of music from around the world... including, Reggae/dub/dancehall, Drum & Bass, jungle, Dubstep, Hip Hop, Funk, Soul, Rock, Jazz, Ska, Punk, Breaks, House, Techno, Plus alot of rareness from years gone by...
I have been playing around with records since 1999/2000, and have enjoyed Djing out and about since then...more background info to follow...
Urb aka Dominic Lynch (24) has successfully trounced the current Guinness World Record of 84 hrs (3 ½ days) for the longest non stop DJ club mix. Spinning a total of 1155 vinyl's at the Fiddlers Elbow, Urb achieved a marathon non stop time in excess of 100 hrs (4 days plus). Guinness rules only permitted a 15 min break every 8 hrs, a maximum silence of 10 seconds in between tunes and no repeats within a 4hr period. (started noon Wed 18.01.06 - finished* 12 midnight Sat 21.01.06….*broke record & carried on into Sunday evening to set new time.)
His witnessing audience were treated to a mix of music probably never before heard together for what was really one long party session and included DNB (Drum n' Bass), Reggae, Ska, House, Hip Hop, Funk, Breakbeat, Techno, Trance, Soul, 70's Disco, Rock , Jazz and Blues. Only Urb could get away with entertaining an audience with such a variety and entertained they were day after night after day after night.
Urb admits to owing a lot of people a great big thank you. Most of them are part of local music collectives Playskool, System Abuse, Unity, Muddy Arts & Promotions + friends and family who helped prepare the event, took time off work to be around in the 'wee' hours when the public were not permitted to attend due to the licensing laws, and who cajoled and encouraged Urb throughout.
Thanks also must go to Ian Coleman the landlord of Fiddlers Elbow who not only provided the venue at no cost but was often to be seen achieving his own mini marathon for attendance. Various back up staff actually dropped by the wayside through illness and fatigue and one of Urb's regrets is that they were not able to be in attendance at the end having put so much time and effort into helping him achieve his goal.
...Also to everybody who attended any amount of this event...
When the existing record of 84 hrs was broken around midnight on Saturday there were many many tears being shed amongst the dancing audience who lifted their hearts and voices to a level not heard on many football terraces.
Thank you...
He is now awaiting confirmation from Guiness...
